Two days spent cleaning the tools in preparation for the new years work. The usual studio re-jig with steels cleaned and oiled. Blades and burrs renewed and just a spirited new brush through the place.

We find more of Lil’s (malE’s daughter) friends rewarding themselves with real gems and jewels, early off in their careers and what a delight to see young sophisticates choosing Barbara’s contemporary designs. Emma in Sydney and Sophie in London and since these young ladies have started the ball rolling we are greatful to have made engagement and wedding jewellery for many more bright young things in the years to come.
